GAINESVILLE, TIN, Sept. Last
night about 80 O'Clock on the road be-
tween here sud Wood5ine, five and one
half miles east Of this city, John Ware
was stabbed and almost instantly killed
by Alfred Williams. Both the partici.
pants in the affcay were youths, nineteen
! years of age. They mad been in this city
during the day, and had drank quite
! freely, and were on their way home when
TIE difficulty occurred. Two other
! young men, Lce Heron and Elmer Jar
man were also present when the affair
| took place. Ware ard Williams were
! riding along il front OF Heron and jar
man, and the first thing the two men in
the rear knew or any trouble Ware and
| Williams were both of their horses and
| sparTlDg at each other on foot Heron
and Jarman Immediately dismounted, ran
IN between the combatants AID persuaded
them to desist from lighting and get on
| their horses again, eli four then
had ridden along together for short
! distance when Williams remarked to
| Ware; Oh you, | can whip yOu,"
| to which Ware replied: "You can't 90
anv such thing" They both then imme-
diately lesped from their horses sgain,
| but before they could Clinch, Heron and
| Jarman were again dismounted Snd be-
tween them. Ware then remarked to
| Williams: "You have q knife, but l am
not afraid of you," and simultaneously
| both leaped from behind Heron and Jar
man, and began fighting. few blows
were passed, when Ware fell to the
| ground, having been stabbed between the
third and fourth ribs, the knife penetret-
inc the heart, it is thought. Jarman and
Heron then went to neighboling house,
told the inmates Of the occurrence, ana
went into WOOdbine for physician, and
Williams came to this city and spent the
night. 4 special messenger brought the
news here about 80 o'clock last night,
and Sheriff Ware, who is an uncle OF the
young man killed, together with deputies,
Justice Holman and City Marshal Honey
cut repaired to the scene OF the killing,
and they kept on toward Whites
boro, where they thought Williams
had fed, as his parents lived there. The
killing occurred only about fifty yards
from the Missouri Pacific track, and Ctii-
GERS Anglin and Arnold tagged passing
freight trair in order to get into Whites
bOro ahead of the fugitive No one knew
OF Williams coming here, and only s few
persons here are acquainted with him,
These facts account for the officers being
misintormed, and their having q weari-
some and fruitless chase. About .
O'Clock this morning Williams hunted up
: Deputy Sheriff AppersOn and surrendered
TO MIN. He was perfectly cool and col
lected when put in jail, and Judging from
, his manner, scarcely realized the situa-
ton in which he was placed. Ware
J lived near Woodbine, in this county,
where he YVES buried to-day. As stated
T, above the parents of Williams live in
Whitesboro aid ere highly respected by
3 all who know them. The testimony at
the inquest failed 10 show what the origin
Of the difficulty was and that fact is in
volved in uncertainty and can only be
: discovered FROM Willismsa alone.
A report was brought in late last night
) thst man mad killei his son-in-law IT
the neighborhood of Rosstop, near the
Montague line about twenty-five miles
southwest of here. The report failed &c
give any names, and, although the officers
have been investigating the matter all the
morning, up till now they have beer
unable to discover not only who the par
ties to the difficulty were, but who was
the messenger that brought the report te
the city.
